There is Nothing We Love More Than Hearing From Happy Customers
We are a small business. And by small, I mean micro. We are a micro business. Like, one mom who juggles rides to school and homework with filling orders & post office trips.
Grease and Grace is just myself, and my dad & stepmom. (You can learn more about us artists here.) So what we don’t have is millions of sales, or anything mass-produced. What we do have is small batch, or one-off unique items, and customers who are happy with their experience. Being small means we can take extra time to put more love in.
Here are some of our reviews from satisfied Grease and Grace customers. Reviews like these and yours make small businesses thrive!
More reviews can be found at our Facebook Fan Page, Instagram, or Etsy. Send your photos to any of our social media pages and we’ll feature you. Your image might even end up here!
For small shops like ours, these photo testimonials and kind reviews speak volumes and mean a lot. It never ceases to put a smile on my face when I get that notification and see it’s a happy review.
We’d love to hear from YOU!
Warmest Thanks,
Deanna, Cynthia, & Dean

Custom (personalized) bags are an option!
The lovely singer-songwriter, Miss Minstrel sends a photograph of her custom purse. She’s looking just swingin’ with her polished punk/rockabilly style.
